Autoimmune hepatitis presenting as acute liver failure: A 20-year retrospective review of North America

Thomas Enke et al.

Summary: Autoimmune hepatitis is a common cause of acute liver failure, and treatment includes steroids and liver transplantation. This study aims to characterize acute liver failure due to autoimmune hepatitis and identify predictors of 21-day transplant-free survival. Data from hospitalized patients with acute liver failure were analyzed, and a multivariable logistic regression model was developed using variables associated with survival.

Epidemiology and surveillance of autoimmune hepatitis in Asia

Tomohiro Katsumi et al.

Summary: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic liver disease that mainly affects hepatocytes. Recent epidemiological studies in Asia have revealed regional characteristics of AIH, with type 1 being predominant in East Asia and type 2 being as frequent as in Europe and the USA in South Asia. The prevalence of AIH is increasing worldwide, and early diagnosis and treatment can improve the situation in Asia.

Summary: Objective SLE is a chronic autoimmune disease, and this study used US data to estimate its prevalence and characterize its burden compared to non-SLE individuals. The results showed that SLE patients have higher rates of physical limitations, work impairment, and depression, as well as higher healthcare and prescription expenses, compared to non-SLE individuals.

Recent updates on the management of autoimmune hepatitis

Atsumasa Komori

Summary: Autoimmune hepatitis is a chronic liver disease characterized by immunoinflammatory processes, diagnosed based on serum biochemistry and liver histology. Treatment typically involves corticosteroids and azathioprine, with second-line therapies for incomplete response or intolerance. Personalized medicine should be considered for improved quality of life in AIH patients.

The Intersection of Rural Residence and Minority Race/Ethnicity in Cancer Disparities in the United States

Whitney E. Zahnd et al.

Summary: In America, one in every twenty-five people is a racial/ethnic minority living in rural areas. These populations face greater poverty and lack of access to care, putting them at higher risk for cancer and experiencing poorer outcomes. More research is needed to understand the disparities experienced by all rural racial/ethnic minority populations, with policies and interventions aiming to increase access to care and resources to reduce these disparities.

A reasoned approach to the treatment of autoimmune hepatitis

Diego Vergani et al.

Summary: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic inflammatory liver disease characterized by autoimmune attack on the liver tissue. Standard treatment with steroids and azathioprine is effective for most patients, but alternative treatments may be necessary for non-responsive or intolerant cases. Ongoing research is exploring new therapeutic options targeting B lymphocytes and proinflammatory cytokines to improve treatment outcomes for AIH.
